JAMINE ALABRE All in small bills.
A crafty 25-year-old employee of a Long Island marketing firm managed to swindle more than a million dollars in cash by steadily sneaking small bills out of the office, police said.
She blew nearly all of the $1,119,807 she stole in casinos, on home payments, and splurging on two cars that she paid for in cash, cops said.
Over a two-year period, account coordinator Jamine Alabre, 25, of Westbury, smuggled the money out of the Uniondale offices of IPSOS, a firm that conducts market-research surveys and public-opinion polls.
Nassau County Detective Sgt. Lucy Graziano said Alabre, who was hired by the firm in 1999, was responsible for arranging armored-car deliveries of the piles of small bills, to stick in envelopes with printed surveys or polls.
Between December 2003 and this month, the unmarried Alabre, whose salary was less than $50,000 a year, discovered she could "over-order" more cash than was needed without being discovered, said Graziano.
She would order hundreds of thousands of dollars in small bills for company use and also order larger bills for herself to make it easier to sneak the cash out of the office, said Graziano.
Alabre would oversee the arrival of the mounds of money by armored car, put the stacks of small bills required for a mailing in the company safe and keep the larger bills for herself, cops said. She would then enter only the small bills total in a company computer.
The theft was detected by a routine audit and she was fired by the firm, Graziano said.
Alabre was arraigned yesterday on charges of grand larceny and falsifying business records.
Investigators recovered only $29,000 of the more than $1 million she allegedly stole.

She helped her self to a "living large wage".
That amounts to $10,000 dollars a week, say a five day week, or $2,000 a day. So, she sneaked out "small bills". A small bill would be a $20 bill or less, as they don't make bills bigger than $100. That would be 100 $20 bills a day, every day.
Amazing that she had no thought for the future, but then sociopaths seldom do, I guess.
How would they have any idea how much money she showed up with, and even if they did, why would it be any of their business where she got it?
Affirmative action in action.
Exactly. She is a victim!
Her income is that of the median white household. Oppressed? Hardly.
I understand why she's single - money or not.
Heheh....her theme song....."Can't Buy Me Love."
LOL.......it's OK to blame it on Karl.
